Aims
The aim of this module is to provide students with experience of simulated professional practice within a specific industry defined role, reflecting the student's employment/career aspirations. The module continues to engage the students in an exploration of how their chosen area of the industry functions, and the student will realise in full one project from conception to evaluation. The first destinations of our graduates find them working mostly as assistants, assistant stage managers, assistant designers and Lighting and AV assistant technicians. Whilst at LIPA they have progressed to heads of departments in their practical work based assessed learning. This module supports the adjustments they need to make upon entering the workplace, reconnecting them with a role they will not have delivered since level 4. This will additionally enhance the peer learning opportunities for the level 4 students they will be working alongside.

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The student will be supported in their work and study by a series of tutorials and mentoring sessions, in order to guide and develop their chosen programme of study. The work will take place in the LIPA curricular programme. Student's work will be structured and guided as follows:
1. Propose their own programme of study in project form
2. Self-manage their time and available resources
3. Support original work to a professional standard
4. Clearly present and articulate ideas
5. Gather analyse, synthesise, and evaluate information from a variety of sources
6. Critically evaluate their own work, and that of others within a framework of agreed criteria, complete with verbal evaluation.
Proposals for practical work should provide evidence of a further development of route skills and/or collaborative work already undertaken on the degree. Independent proposals will include the added responsibility of a funding proposal: guidelines will be provided.
